1 Sequence read counts were rarefied to 10,000 sequences per sample.2 p-value was calculated by DESeq function, adjusted for age, sex, and smoking status. 3 Log2Fc > 0: the abundance of taxa in drinkers is higher in comparison to non-drinkers; Log2Fc < 0: the abundance of taxa in drinkers is lower in comparison to non-drinkers.
